Asofa-Solomona’s disciplinary record has come under fire this week after he was hit with his fifth charge of the season following an elbow on rising Rooster Joseph Suaalii last week. The Storm front-rower is yet to be suspended,leading Bellamy to encourage Asofa-Solomona to continue to play his menacing brand of football in the hope he would not come under extra scrutiny from referees.
“There’s a lot of other instances that are as bad as Nelson’s,but we decided to pick on Nelson this week so he was the punching bag,” Bellamy said.
